Kobe IX Elite PE

This particular Kobe IX Elite PE was made for Kobe Bryant last season to match his "Hollywood Nights" jersey. The black/yellow combination looks menacing, along with the signature nine red stitch marks on the achilles heel area. One small detail that usually goes unnoticed is the fact that the Swoosh is a metallic gold color, as opposed to the rest of the yellow accents on the shoe.

This exact colorway never released at the retail level. If it did, I'm sure it would've been an instant hit. Kobe never wore this colorway on the court himself, but Jordan Crawford did during the Golden State Warriors 2014 Playoff run against the L.A. Clippers.
